Scholar

Appearances: FF3, FF4
Aliases: None

Scholars' sole defining ability is Peep or Scan. This allows them to spy on the enemy's status, HP, MP and other statistics. In other games, this is a white magic spell or other ability. With average or weak stats all-around, this makes them a fairly unused job class.
